Mia Dyberg alto saxophone
Asger Thomsen double bass
Simon Forchhammer drums

Danish alto-saxophonist Mia Dyberg is a philosophical time-traveller, a linear assassin forever ready to toss ol’ Cronos a compositional curveball in her quest for gracefully complex systems of clock-beating abstraction. Her debut album on Clean Feed, 2018’s Ticket!, was a William S Burroughs-indebted boon, inspired by that Beat Gen icon’s cut-up tactics to instigate an explosive, expressionist suite of fresh jazz..

“Dyble Longdon is a collaboration between Judy Dyble (ex Fairport Convention) and Big Big Train multi-instrumentalist / frontman David Longdon. Judy died in July 2020 just before this was released and Between A Breath And A Breath provides a wonderful swansong to a greatly missed talent.”

“I first heard David sing with Big Big Train at King’s Place in London 2015 and immediately decided that I really wanted to sing with him someday. And here we are with a collaborative album, which I think is...

"The melting pot we call New York is very much alive, and one proof is this band coming from a new generation of musicians living in the Big Apple. New and with a militant attitude, committed to build what Bryan Qu, Quincy Mayes and Mark Ballyk point as a «progressive future». Following a DIY philosophy, with complete control of the composition, performance, recording and production process...

“Etant Donnes is a French duo named after Marcel Duchamp's last major work. The group consists of brothers Marc and Eric Hurtado, born in Morocco and working mainly as performance artists and musicians.
